In the rage over the two-child benefits cap, one fact gets lost: this is state control of women’s bodies | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Wheels fell off a long time ago, this isn’t just about confused and underfunded policy responses to rough sleeping and the far, far bigger problem of wider homelessness, alongside a refusal to address affordable housing supply, this is a basic failure of civilisation

No type of economic growth could happen without unpaid care work. Yet it continues to be ignored in mainstream economic analysis & policies. As the #CostOfLivingCrisis is disproportionately impacting women, now more than ever, we need a feminist approach to macroeconomics🧵

Bertrand Russell said in 1932: “The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich.” That idea is alive and well. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Last night York Labour Party passed a motion to end the 2-child limit. 6,000 children in #York live in poverty. I refused to vote for this when it was introduced to Parliament, and believe it should be scrapped. #ImagineBetter for kids Child Poverty Action Group youtube.com/watch?v=spfeyO…
